FlRES IN ST. LOUIS.
An Attempt TO Rurn the Ctty-Psspls

n
Alarmed.
ST. LOUIS, November 1l.-Twenty-six
alarms, calling the department TO twenty
six fires in different parts e the city in
fifteen hours at Q period S<excitement
such As last night causes considerable IN
easiness among the citizens Of st. Louis,
and many affect to believe there has been
IN organized attempt 10 burn the city.
There has been an unprecedented number
Of alarms in the last two weeks, and even
the authorities are becoming un-
easy. The causes Of many of these
small blazes have been directly
traced to carelesness, but as many more
have equal proof OF incerdiary origin and
some people are inclined to believe the Au-
archists are endesvoring to burn the city.
Police, however, place no reliance on this,
as there are but few Of this agitating ele-
ment in this city. Capt Evans, Of the
salvage corpse, called on Mayor Francis,
to-day, and declared that eighty per cent
OF the fires were Of ircendiary origin. Chief
Lindsey of the fire department thought the
basis came from tramps and small
boys and were disconnected. The
The only blaze Of any consequence was
in the four-story brick building Of Chas.
II. Spalding, 5l3 and 5l5 Elm street, oc-
cupied by Sunday Sdyings, weekly news
paper, and the Pacific steam laundry. The
damage estimated there is $4,000, partly
insured. All the rest will aggregate, per-
haps, 5000. Quite Q number Of alarms
have been answered to-day, but the fires
were eItinguished in their incipient stage.

Dun & CO.'S REPORT.
Election aud Anarchists Affect Trade
!Srighter Outlook.

EIrctIhn ahu AuarCiiistS AHeCt Trade
HriGhter Outlook.
New YORK, November ll.--R &. Dan
& CO., IL their weekly review of trade say:
The elections and the anarchists have di.
verted attention somewhat during the
week, but an advance in prices has been
started by the Government crop reports,
made public on Thursday, and speculative
operations since have been remarkably
large. The cotton estimate caused an ex-
cited rise Of thirteen-sixteenths for the
week. The estimate caused excitement
in the grain and provision markets. Corn
raised cent for the week, oats Z, wheat
I. Pork and lard were excited and ad
vanced. Hogs rose 10 cents, and beef
80 cents per one hundred pounds
meanwhile liquidation abroad caused a fall
of half cent in coffee, and reaction from
previous booms reached half a cent in cof-
lee, q cents in tin and one cent i'll oil.
Stocks seemed stronger until Thursday,
when the accounts Of probably fatal illness
of the German crown prince caused sharp
reaction in Berlin and other continental
markets, and some selling here on foreign
account, hut the opening was again strong
er Friday.
Trade accounts from all sections are IA
vorable as to the volume Of business, hut
there are still reports of slow collections At
many points, notably at Detroit and Kan
sas city. while improvement in that respect
is noted at Omaha, st. Paul and other
points. Iron is shade stronger in tone,
in spite Of the enormous production. A
sale of steel rails netting 3,l60 is reported,
but q consultation of makers is thought
likely to restore steadiness, and the de-
maud for bar is little better.
Coal is in great demand. Scarcity and
high prices prevail in the Ohio Valley ow-
ing TO the prolonged low water. Boot and
shoe buyers are unusually numerous for
the season and very full trade is prOmiS-
ed. Advances in cotton are sustained by a
large demand, and print cloths advance.
Wooden goods also seem in better request
and fine wool is more firmly held.
The business failures occurring during
the last seven days number for the United
States 1875, and for Canada 30, total of
2l7, compared with 2i5 last week and 23l
for tie corresponding week of last year.

There had been no understanding that
they would be allowed to talk from the

'Why was the execution delayed from

Merely to give the men all the chance

the Governor, / decided to hold of and

have it said that we had rushed them to

at 10, but short time before that telegram
came that Capt. Black was interceding
with the Governor. At 1905 q
second dispatch came that Capt.
Black had left the Executives
presence and that the letter had declared
it his irrevocahle intention not to interfere
further with the verdict Of the courts. /

looking down from the roof of the Dear
borne street wing on the proceedings. The
chief bailiff began at lilo calling out the
names Of the persons summoned as jurors,
and bringing them forward to the row of
little stools directly in front of the gallows.
The eyes of the crowd began to
centre on the dark box upon the scaf-
fold of the dangling ropes. This box
seemed to possess fearful fascination and
was absorbing the attention of every per-
son in the corridor, when frightful wall
startled the crowd. Some who had heard
the horrible groaning of Lingg yesterday
Just before his death declared 1t sounded
as if he was still in agony. But this was
mere fancy. The black Jail cat was the
cause of the commotion, and at intervals
continued to emit her ghost-li mewiDg,
A command to the crowd, fronting the
gallows. that all must stop smoking, was
given at 11:30. The dozen or two who
were using the weed quenched the fire.
Some rather reluctantly, and the ashes
were slowly strewn on the pavement.
Whether this command was
GIVEN OUT OF HUMANITY
10 the doomed men, or as precaution
against the appalling possibility of any
treacherous bomb lighting in the corridor.
When the fatal moment came no person
seemed aware, but more than one said
drawer down in their inmost hearts. 1t was
now Has and the suspense of the crowd
near the gallows was like a slow torture.
There was no relief, and the newspaper re-
porters gazed at the gallows and roted the
drops swaying slightly to and fro.
All the Anarchists died of strangulatiOn.
None OF their necks were broken.
1t lacked Just seven minutes and half
of the hour of high noon, when a single
white shrouded figure above which was q
face of yellowish pallOr, the face of
August Spies, passed the first post
of the gallOws The gaping
crowd ten feet below, half rose invOlun-
tarily from their chairs at the FIRST glimpse
OF the apparition advancing across the scat
fold. Spies looked calm and glanced down
at the reporters with q trace of his old time
cynical smile. He walked
FIRMLY OVER THE DROP,
guided by the grasp ofa deputy, to the
furthest edge OF the gallows. Following
close cane Fischer, close enough to touch
Spies shroud, had his hands not been
pinioned under the white muslin.
Fischer's cOuutenacce had a peculiar
glisten, totally unlike the ashiness CT En-
GELS heavy features, and in strong contrast
with the dead lack of color in the pinched
lincaments of Parsons. The once

Mourning Over Their -Embslming
the Bodies.
CHICAGO, November ll.--After the
hanging, the center Of attraction to the
idle curiosity seekers was transferred to
Milwaukee avenue AZ the point along
which thoroughfare the bodies of the dead
men lay. At little undertaker's shop at
lS6 Milwaukee avenue the bodies Of Lingg
and Engel were prepared for the grave.
The latter's remains were easily cared for,
and after being placed in new black
cloth coveredCasket were taken to the lit
tie millinery store at $50 Milwaukee
avenue, where the widow and brother Of
the dead man waited 10 receive them.
1t was some hours after Engel's body
lay in state in his old home
before the suicides remains were placed in
q new casket with silver trimmings exactly
like that holding Engel's body. When
this was finally done, Lingg's mortal re-
mains were carried out ana placed beside
those OF his old friends. Hundreds OF
FRIENDS OF THE DEAD MEN
filed into and out of tine little shop and
took a last look at the faces almost strange
from the passage of time. At one end of
the store Mrs. Engel sat with eyes red
with weeping and her face sbroud-

with her back 10 the window, through
which hundred eager curious ey az peered.

bad as any Of the gang, il, indeed, he wS
not the worst. He it was who gave the
